I have been working with John-Reed for a few years now and I have been consistently impressed by both John-Reeds leadership and ability to connect with others. His interpersonal and communication skills have allowed him to develop productive working relationships with many people on our staff. John-Reed has the ability to walk into a room with confidence and convey his point clearly and effectively. John-Reed also has one of the most impressive business minds in the Industry. He is very analytical and can always find a viable solution to any issues that arise. His ability to remain unflustered during stressful situations is uncanny. I would like to thank John-Reed for all he has done for me and my team.

      • Aug 2022 - Present

      After spending 20+ years of my career in traditional staffing and franchising, I was presented with an opportunity to work alongside a dynamic Owner/Founder to launch the franchise concept for a company that merges two of the fastest-growing segments of the US economy: staffing AND the gig economy. When you consider the fact that the Staffing industry has grown from $114B in 2012 to an estimated $219B in 2023 (revenues increasing 8.4% annually) and that the Gig Economy has grown from $204B in 2017 to an estimated $455B in 2023 (combined revenues increasing 42% annually), you get a rare confluence of two booming sectors of the economy blended together in ONE COMPANY. That is what is happening at GigWorx. We are taking the best of both and changing the way GigWorkers see traditional employment and changing the way traditional employers see GigWorkers. If you are interested in joining the revolution by opening your own GigWorx franchise, please email us at Franchising@GigWorx to connect. We'd love to discuss how to change the trajectory of your career into one of business ownership. Show less

Now with 90+ offices, the company rudder stays true giving me the opportunity to mentor a team of talented people who each support a teams that work directly with clients and candidates. The ability to touch so many lives with positive experiences motivates me to continue to work toward our common goals. PrideStaff makes it all about you. Our focus is to provide client experiences focused on what you value most.Staffing excellence is built upon two fundamental principles; exceptional client service & quality job candidates.

      I began working right out of college on the internal operations help desk. After a full 90 days of training, the real work began. I had to keep up with everything from software applications to multiple state employment laws to business best practices. After two years, I was promoted to the travel team to help new franchises open and get profitable quickly. Soon I stepped up as Lead Trainer to assist with remote corporate openings, additional franchise installations, and regional development. I was recruited to become a Regional Developer with 13 of my own offices which I was responsible to help develop and grow. I provided constant growth and sales training as well as mentoring each location manager to mentor and train their team. My income was based on growth so I was very motivated to succeed in this area.

      A “college job” that kept me in school and my family fed while teaching me the benefits of good organization for the entire team. Proper inventory control and management was crucial to the store success and someone as lowly as a college student could have a big impact on store profits just by keeping an orderly environment, working safely, and smiling no matter how I felt.

      Working this position while studying Political Science in college was an appropriate compliment to my education. My job was to take calls from people who wanted to close their accounts, find out why they were leaving, resolve any issues they were having and convince them to stay. I was very successful and learned quickly the value of listening to enhance the customer service experience. This is a lesson I carry with me.
